Which configuration options would I need to select to build the correct drivers/modules for my usb mouse and ps/2 keyboard? The mouse is a Microsoft 1.1A Optical (Compatible with USB or PS/2 but plugged into usb port) and the keyboard is just a no name chinese one. BTW i am running Gentoo and linux 2.6.32-gentoo-rc7
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to install some wireless drivers, but apparently I don't have a /lib/modules/<kernel>/build directory, which is causing the Makefile to throw an error. Is there a specific place I should point the Makefile at?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried running Ubuntu Linux 9.10 on my computer directly from the CD, without installing, and when it had finished loading neither the keyboard nor the mouse would work. I got a message saying that restricted drivers had been blocked. I can't press what I think to be the unblock command because both the keyboard and mouse had been blocked.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed VMWare server 2 on a windows XP host. Then I installed Suse 11.2 on the VMWare server. For the most part everything seems to be working Ok. However, the key board will type two letters with every keystroke. I have used the the accessibility options to force a hack fix (slow keys). Also, the host pointer looses synchronization with the guest. Simple fix, running it off the screen forces VM to synchronize.
I have managed to find work around solutions, but overall it is annoying and effects my productivity (IE Ctrl+C takes about 2 seconds to register!!!). I would like to find better solutions. So I am looking for advice on how I could address these issues, I need advice on two methods:
1) Assuming the problems are within Linux, I will need to tweak/change the drivers for my mouse and keyboard, how would I do that?
2) Assuming the problem is with VMWare Tools, I will need to tweak/update the tools. Now, I have noticed that Suse has their own custom setup for the tools. Thus the documentation for tweaking the tools doesn't apply (ie cannot find vmware-tools-config.pl). So how would I go about playing with that side of things?
3) Ruled out the problem being with VMWare itself. Whenever I run the system in command line mode, or in the graphical installer, the keyboard works fine. It is only within KDE that the problems arise. Thus it is either X-Windows/KDE or the VMWare tools layer that is causing the problem. So my next question, is there a way of turning components off and on to narrow in on what component is causing the problem?
I'm using VMWare Workstation 7.0.1 on my F12 x64 System with a self-made Kernel 2.6.32-7.The last days everything went fine, but since todays morning i can't run VMWare anymore.It tells me, that there are no Modules for my Kernel and when i try to build them i get the following error:
Code:
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

My new laptop works out of the box except for the video and the ethernet. For this, I have to use a later kernel than the Debian kernel (debian squeeze is currently 2.6.32). Upgrading to the new kernel (without moving to the testing dist itself) was pretty easy. I just installed linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64 and linux-base from the testing distribution by manually downloading and using dpkg. After that, ethernet and video started working.
However, my virtualbox installation no longer works because the drivers do not match the kernel. I am used to this; whenever debian upgrades the kernel on me, I have to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup". This rebuilds the drivers. This failed for me, however, because it could not find the headers. So, I installed some more packages:
linux-kbuild-2.6.38
linux-headers-2.6.38-2-common
linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64
Now, when I rebuild it, I get this:
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules:.
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules:.
[code]....
If others are have the problem of VirtualBox failing to build the kernel modules with kernel 2.6.32 try this :-
1. Install VirtualBox and watch as the kernel modules fail to compile.
2. Change the line
Code:
KFLAGS += -DRT_ARCH_AMD64
TO
Code:
KFLAGS += -DRT_ARCH_X86_64
In the following files :-
Code:
Line 231 /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv/Makefile
Line 170 /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetadp/Makefile
Line 174 /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetflt/Makefile
3. Run /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
You will now have a working VirtualBox setup. NB This is written purely from the standpoint of using the Closed source version of VB not the OSE version.

Since new kernel 3.0 update I cannot rebuild vmware modules
Quote:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all Unable to initialize kernel module configuration
how to do that. Where do I insert the "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" line.
Quote:
Same here. This seems to be due to the kernel version being "3.0" instead of "3.0.0". Recompiling the Kernel (and all modules based on it, e.g. nvidia) with
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".0-ARCH" allows me to compile the modules and run VMware.

my environment :1.Debian 5 Lenny,2.LXDE,now my USB mouse behaviour is so strange as the following:1. when single click on the Start, then the Menu pops-up in very short time, it soon disappears. --------- what I get is my single click does not work here.2. when single click on the Terminal Shell or any Folder else, it will pop up two of them. ------------- what I get is that behaves like double click on those targets.3. when I open Iceweasel Browser for web surfing, when clicking on the Menus, none of them gives me response. and in web page which I opened, right-click in the context, nothing happened. --------what I get is that right click does not response.I tried some steps on configuration on X.org conf file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf, according to the results what I googled.... but there is still no outcomes till now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two devices (a usb modem and a camera) permanently hard-wired into my system. When linux boots, it automatically inserts their drivers. However, I would like this to be under my control to insert as and when needed. Can anyone give any pointers as to how I might disable auto-insertion, whilst still allowing manual insertion via insmod or modprobe? I understand the usual method would be to use modules.conf, however in my modules.conf file, there is no entries at all.

I'm trying to install Sun VirtualBox Additions into Fedora 12 which is installed in VirtualBox running on top of Windows 7. As the Fedora install was originally a live distro which was then installed to the HD, it may be missing some essential files for compiling.
My attempt to install the VBoxLinux additions is incomplete and I can't get the full range of video displays. The largest is This is the error message: "Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules".

This is the problem I run lspci -v which checks all drivers on my system and more. It says kernel driver in use is nouveau. Then under that it says kernel modules: nvidia recent, nvidia-96, nouveau, nvidiafb. So what it looks like I have 3-4 drivers for my video card loaded and one, nouveau, being used. I think they conflict with each other.
I'm trying to add drivers other then nouveau, because the mouse freezes with it. At this point I can't seem to get rid of nouveau, I go to terminal and type:
sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
And it says that it's not loaded so I can't dump it. lspci-v says nouveau is the driver being used and trying to dump it. It says it isn't installed. I'm confused. I want to dump nouveau, what should I do? I also go into Synaptic package manager and it isn't listed as being installed.

I ve got a SATA HDD which I use for storage connected to a (now quite old) RAID PCI card (HighPoint Rocket RAID 1520). Ive added another (blank) HDD, same brand and size to the PCI card. Ubuntu (10.04) can see both hard drives and access data. Id like to mirror (raid 1?) these HDDs. Looking around this forum Ive noticed quite a few people mentioning FakeRAID. Turns out that's not quite the same as software RAID. Given how cheap the 1520 was, I suspect it's FakeRAID rather than Hardware. Perhaps someone can confirm? Given Ubuntu can see both HDDs, would this mean it ll have the correct drivers to work with a hardware/fake raid? A common recommendation is to use mdadm to create a software RAID. How does this work for partitions accessed from multiple Operating Systems including Windows XP?
